I love Dr. Westman! He must have an abundance of patience for people who want to take a protocol that is simple and turn it into something that is complicated and confusing.

[@AdaptYourLife]

Laura Softheart you are so right, it doesn’t need to be complicated 😊

[@laura-leemurphyuta78]

I think what happens is ppl hear dr westman and follow his protocol then comes in relatives, friends, acquaintances and you tube videos of ppl even other drs talking about keto and twist it or have their own spin on it and hence...confusion!

[@2twentysix]

Thank you! Dr Westman is a calming voice behind a fountain of down to earth keto/low carb knowledge. Very informative as usual.

I have seen many of Dr Westman YT videos and he explains Keto in the real world well. This video is very interesting as it gets back to the basics and reinforces the success people have with Keto. Thank you for this video. One further comment the frequency of the advertisements in this video are ridiculous and cause a distraction within the video. Hope the further comment helps.

I'm all in on this, plenty of good fats are to be encouraged. I'm starting to notice, after almost two years IF and no sugar/low grain, I'm starting to naturally decrease the amount of fats I eat. I'm eating all the same high fat foods, just not say, adding as much extra olive oil just for the fat.

I’m eating high fat including saturated fats because that’s what the drs I look at on You Tube are advocating …so I’m hoping you guys are correct…saturated fat does not do you harm

[@AdaptYourLife]

We don’t advocate adding fat, we advocate eating what is naturally found in your food. I strongly suggest you look into Dr. Westman’s online course called “Keto Made Simple Masterclass” Enrolment opens in January, here is the link 👇 adaptyourlifeacademy.com/keto-made-simple-masterclass/

[@adacotto1873]

I started keto 2 weeks ago, I didn't know how it will affect my type 2 diabetes and on my birthday my sugar levels when down and I got so scared. I went to my doctor and my labs showed that my A1C number went down from 8.7 to 6.7. I was taking metformin 2000 daily plus glipizide 20 mg daily. Now I'm taking 1000 daily and keep going on the diet. I'm a little reluctant about the fat intake, but I try to do it as clean as possible. I have lost 6 pounds.

[@jimlofts5433]

be careful of glipizide (ask Doctor) I am now insulin dependant as glipizide stimulates the pancreas 24 hours a day 7 days a week 52 weeks a year and after about 5-7 years the pancreas has nothing left to give so you are then on insulin needles - get off it as quick as you can - again see your doctor for proper advice or on the internet haha - the real problem is insulin resistance / metabolic syndrome or as Dr KenDberry says carbohydrate toxicity syndrome

[@YouTuber-ep5xx]

I know for a fact that if you are diagnosed with coronary artery disease, the Mayo Clinic will recommend the 'Mediterranean Diet', which is high in whole grains - glucose - and fruits - fructose. In other words, a high sugar diet, which is what gets you heart disease in the first place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@AdaptYourLife]

You Tuber 🙈

[@lukef829]

Interesting point triglycerides but what about the possibility of increase of your LDL’s. And given a low carb intake and increased fat (real).. how then do you tell your physician that’s it’s ok. So the question come in does fat increase ldl and how much would or could increase those levels.

[@AdaptYourLife]

Luke F in the context of a Keto diet where triglycerides are low and HDL ratio is preferable, we are not worried about LDL

[@isabellelee2658]

My ldl went up a lot. My trigs went to 77, and hdl to 65. It was scary to me. My doctor wants me to use statins but I am not going to take them. Trig over Hdl ratio is a much better indication of heart attack risk. I did go to a cardiologist for a sonogram and a stress test but all results were good.

[@gabymalembe]

If you’re pretty healthy is it helpful to increase your fat intake to 50% and lower your carbs to 30% or do you have to become a “fat burning machine” to get a benefit?

[@AdaptYourLife]

gabymalembe we have actually JUST finished writing a book about this very topic. We talk about three different phases from metabolically compromised to otherwise healthy folks. It’s available on preorder and will be released on the 15th December. www.adaptyourlife.com/book/

[@mkeyw2226]

gabymalembe I think the fat is to decrease hunger and keep insulin lower? So if your healthy, you may be at maintenance level. How is your hunger?

[@venkataponnaganti]

Dear Dr. Westman, My diabetes has reversed after more than an year an keto diet. But my hypertension did not change at all. I want to reduce my weight now. As I am fat adapted, how much fat do I need to take to maintain ketosis and loose some weight? Will you please take time to answer me at your earliest convenience? Thank you.

[@AdaptYourLife]

Venkata Ponnaganti please sign up for my newsletter as we are going to be launching my signature masterclass and will cover this in detail. www.adaptyourlifeacademy.com.

[@mkeyw2226]

Venkata Ponnaganti: Hi the fat only suppresses your appetite and keeps insulin low I believe. Fat should help you go longer between meals. Keeping the carbs low, and no sugar, will keep Ketosis! Keep it simple, low carb, prepare meals with fatty meats. If your still hungry between meals then added fat to meal like cooking with duck fat, but only enough to suppress the appetite is Key.

[@irenajavorek4391]

Thank you Dr.Westman.I now understand more about Keto diet.I'm listen to you every day.My blood work is just perfect.I have 4 stents in my heart.I was scare first to start this diet.But I know now after loosing 23 pounds after 3 months on Ketonig diet was best desicion in my live.I'm 69 years old.Thank you.Irena J.

@@AdaptYourLife If I ate your recommended 45 grams of protein per day as a 50 year old woman, I would absolutely become sarcopenic. This woman would be much healthier following the advice of Ted Naiman.

[@williambranham6249]

Is there research supporting 20 gms. of carbohydrate in a strict Keto plan showing that it is the ideal allowable amount. Is it there to provide for the consumption of fiber. What is the science supporting no carbs which puts you on the carnivore plan.

[@AdaptYourLife]

William Branham Dr. Westman has done numerous studies as well as published over 100 papers covering this topic. Dr. Westman’s plan is not Carnivore and includes cruciferous vegetables which form the fiber in the program.

If a person is fat, how much fat do we eat to lose fat? Won't our bodies burn the fat we are eating before it uses the stored body fat?

[@AdaptYourLife]

Craig Luhr what we want is our bodies to burn the fat on our bodies and not the fat we are eating. It’s best to limit the nutritional fat to what is naturally found in your food, and not add to it.

[@craigluhr7243]

@@AdaptYourLife In other words, don't add butter or cream to coffee but eating the fat contained in bacon or steak is ok? Is there any definitive consensus for the percentage of each macro required to lose weight. I have been stalled for several months. Still need to lose another 40 lbs.

[@AdaptYourLife]

Craig Luhr yes, you got it. As for percentages, we prefer not to do this. Protein should always come first, followed by low carb vegetables. Please subscribe to our academy, we will be running classes on simplifying and well as stalls. www.adaptyourlifeacademy.com

If you ate only fat free protein and no carbs, your only source of energy would be glycogen and body fat. Right? If this is true would your body weight go down quickly?
